dside Concubine, you're wrong about this. The second Miss has a face, doesn't that mean the third Miss doesn't"But she was already injured, and I was fine, getting cut by her. She clearly did it on pu...Dugu Cheng opened the letter and read Feng Yu Mo's message. On it, Feng Yu Mo had detailed the start time of this disappearance case and the number of people who had disappeared, even writing down the lives of the missing people.
Feng Yu Mo also instructed that Gu Li, in order to investigate the disappearance of the soldiers on patrol at Dong Mian, had gone alone and was missing. Feng Yu Mo would definitely lead a team to search for her. If she didn't return, let Du Gu Cheng cover for him first and hide the truth from Feng Ling Xi. Don't let her know. Feng Yu Mo said, this matter, he will definitely investigate to the bottom. If he doesn't return on time, don't come looking for him again, just wait for his return.
General Li, have you sent anyone to patrol after Yu Mo went missing
General Li sighed, "The first two days were spent sending people on patrol, but with continuous disappearances, the soldiers have become unwilling to go to the east side. That place is like a cursed land; those who went there never came back. Now no one wants to patrol, and I fear another incident might occur. So I closed off the east patrol route, deployed troops to guard it, and forbade anyone from approaching."
獨孤城 fell into deep thought, "This eastern side should have been a forest, nothing special as far as I remember."
"That's true. There was nothing unusual before the first disappearance, but after that, things just kept happening one after another. Now people are panicking."
"That's strange."
Dugu City frowned, since it was just a mountain forest, how could such a commotion suddenly arise There must be something fishy going on.
"My Lord, Feather Ink has been missing for three days. I have always wanted to lead troops to search for him, but because of my important position, I dared not act rashly. Now that you are back, My Lord, I request permission to go to the East Face to investigate and bring back the missing soldiers."
Dugu Cheng hurriedly stopped him, "General Li, this matter I will personally investigate the truth, you must not act rashly."
"My lord, this cannot be."
General Li quickly explained, "This matter is too strange. Your Highness is the pillar of this Linxi County, and we cannot risk your safety. I am willing to investigate on your behalf."
獨孤城 refused, these years, this place has been entrusted to General Li, and he can't afford to take risks.
"General Li, this matter is too strange. This king must investigate personally. This disappearance happened during a night patrol. We go to check during the day, even if we dig three feet into the ground, we will search every inch of the mountain on the east side and get to the bottom of this."
Dugu City spoke, and General Li nodded excitedly, "Now Yu Mo is definitely saved."
When Dugu Cheng heard General Li's words, his heart moved slightly. This General Li truly treated Feng Yu Mo as his son. However, Yu Mo was worthy of it.
"Today's events are already late, let's go tomorrow."
Dugu Cheng spoke, "Ye Xi, go and bring me the records of the missing soldiers. Also, send word to the princess that I am busy with military affairs today and will not be returning."
Nightingale acknowledged and withdrew, General Li began to report on the recent situation in the military camp. After sitting down, Dugou City flipped through Feng Yu Mo's notes left behind, flipping through them while listening to General Li's report.
Feng Lingxi had put everything in order, but it was already dark and Dugu Cheng hadn't returned yet. On his way back, Dugu Cheng seemed to have something on his mind, and this time he went straight to the military camp. She didn't know if something had happened at the camp.
"Your Majesty, the King just sent word saying he won't be returning today. He asked you not to wait for him as he has urgent matters to attend to at the military camp."
"Are you that busy"
Feng Lingxi frowned, looking at the dishes on the table. Her brow furrowed, but she had no appetite.
"Xier jie."
Feng Yixuan and Tian Xiaomi walked over. It was mealtime, and they came to have dinner with Feng Lingxi. Seeing Feng Lingxi sitting there with worried eyes, they hurried forward.
"Is something happening"
Tian Xiaomi sat beside Feng Yixuan, Luo Li and Li Wu Yan came with Wan'er.
"It's nothing, just that your brother-in-law isn't coming back for dinner tonight, so we don't have to wait for him."
Luo Li sat down beside Wan'er, watching the worry etched on Feng Lingxi's brow.
He seems to have something on his mind these days, perhaps there is something important going on in the military camp. Once he's finished dealing with it, he'll be back.
Luo Li was serving Wan'er with dishes, but her eyes were fixed on Feng Ling Xi.
"It's normal for you to be busy after returning to the capital after such a long time."
Feng Lingxi nodded, watching Wan'er eat gracefully. As she lifted her bowl and chopsticks to take a bite, she bit her tongue. The pain caused her to wince.
"What's wrong"
Seeing Feng Lingxi put down her chopsticks and furrow her brows, Tian Xiaomi hurriedly asked.
"It's fine, I bit my tongue."
"Looks like there's going to be some good food."
Tian Xiaomi smiled and said, “I used to bite my tongue and it would taste good every time, and I was always so accurate.”
“Aren’t we eating pretty well right now”
Feng Lingxi smiled, as soon as her words left her lips, she saw the steward walk in with a food box. "Your Highness," he said, "someone just sent this outside and asked me to deliver it to His Royal Highness."
"Didn't you tell him that the Lord hasn't returned"
Zhang You hurriedly said, "The servant didn't say anything." After all, this was the Prince's Mansion, and Dugu City was definitely going to return.
"This must be delicious."
Tian Xiaomi smiled and took the food box, placing it on the table. She opened the box, and a finger, covered in blood, came into view. Tian Xiaomi screamed in fright and overturned the food box.
Luoli hurriedly covered Wan'er's eyes, protecting her in his arms so she wouldn't see this bloody scene.
Feng Lingxi walked up to the food box and, as she approached, saw that there was still a token inside. Feng Lingxi crouched down and picked up the bloodstained token on top – it was Gu Li's jade pendant.
This finger...
Feng Lingxi held her finger and, after checking it, her face suddenly changed color.
This is a man's finger, a beautiful jade pendant, the man's finger, sent to Chen Wangfu to give to Dugu City, could it be...
A foreboding feeling washed over me, this hand was definitely from someone connected to the Chen Wangfu.
"Xiao Li, prepare the horse."
Feng Lingxi ordered, addressing Luo Li, "Wan'er, please take care of me. I'm going to the military camp."
After a quick explanation, Feng Lingxi put her finger and jade pendant into a food box and rushed out of the house, heading straight for the military camp.
Luo Li looked at the blood on the ground. It was still fresh, meaning the other party knew they were back and had acted accordingly. That finger, a man's, belonged to the jade pendant Feng Ling Xi seemed familiar with.
"Aya, what do you think"
Li Wuyan squatted on the ground, his fingers stained with blood from the ground, he brought them to his nose and sniffed. “The crime scene is very close to Chen Wangfu. According to the wife’s reaction, it should be someone she knows.”
Could you be more specific
Feng Yi Xuan looked at the two of them, a sense of unease rising in his heart. Whose finger was it
Who is this person, and why are they so cruel
What was the purpose of this Feng Yixuan had never seen such a vicious killer before, and it was very obvious that they were targeting Dugu City.missions. I was thinking of giving her a new identity, nothing out of the ordinary.""Just now the chieftain also heard, Xiaoli is unwilling. This matter, I think we should just let it go and not make...
